Moneysupermarket delivers solid H2 performance, reiterates FY guidance

(Sharecast News) - Price comparison website operator Moneysupermarket highlighted strong second‑half momentum on Wednesday, with growth in its money and energy divisions offsetting insurance headwinds. Moneysupermarket said revenues and adjusted underlying earnings continued to rise in the five months ended 30 November, underpinned by improved borrowing trends and robust credit card availability.

The FTSE 250-listed firm stated that in its home services unit, energy drove growth, with October marking the successful launch of its first collective switch since the sector collapse in 2021, supported by market‑leading deals promoted by MoneySavingExpert.

Its insurance performance showed modest improvement as motor headwinds eased, though cashback remained under pressure from weak consumer finances, while travel was also softer, with competitive pressure in package holidays and reduced demand for car hire weighing on results.

Looking ahead, Moneysupermarket reiterated its full‑year guidance, with adjusted EBITDA expected to be in line with consensus estimates, and said easing headwinds should support greater stability in FY26.

Chief executive Peter Duffy said: "2025 has been a tough trading year so we are pleased with the Group's performance, which reflects the relevance of our brands, the resilience of our model, and the breadth of our markets. We are particularly pleased with the growth in SuperSaveClub which has now reached a milestone two million members.

"Looking ahead, we are optimistic about the outlook in our end markets, and excited by the opportunities AI brings. As we move into FY26, we remain confident in our ability to deliver sustainable growth and create value for all stakeholders."
